Arte Nova is a new experiment in playing card design, featuring AI generated art combined with hand-crafting and extensive design work. Limited to only 100 decks printed in total, the Black Label is a series of 50 decks where each handcrafted tuck box features unique art work, all 50 decks are different!

The front of the box features a richly printed, organic art nouveau design and while all the decks have a similar feel, the details of the art are totally unique for each deck. The box also features a rich metallic green cardstock paper, laser-cut details, hand numbering and a signature by designer Paul Carpenter.

The cards are printed on a 300gsm German paper, with an air-cushion finish that handles extremely well. The cards are fully custom, with hand drawn details, rich court art and unique pips.

In addition, each Black Label deck comes in a protective crystal clear sleeve and an acrylic case by Carat Cases, with a laser-engraved "archway" motif that coordinates with the deck housed within. An embossed, signed vellum certificate of authenticity is included.

Originally labeled as #9, Autobike is one of the most controversial decks in USPC history.  It has been documented that this deck was introduced in 1906 and discontinued in 1913, but no seriouos card collector has ever seen an original version of this back design in person.  Because of this, all seem to unversially agree this card back never actually went into production.

Released exclusively through Target.
